Title: Futureproof `box` and `&` patterns

Futureproof `box` patterns by renaming them to `deref`.
In an effort to consolidate `box` and `&` patterns, change the latter to use the `deref` syntax as well, in recognition of them being semantically equivalent to `box` patterns.
Make the newly introduced `deref` keyword a non-strict keyword.
